Nice, but probably not what i would do if I had 24 in Athen. It would be more like eat and drink, local culture etc. What I would like to know, when i hopefully come to Athen one day, Is where to go. Away form the worst turist spots. I have only been on the Greek islands and know to stay away form harbor because you pay more for the view then the food. 😄
